Wessex Cardiology Trainees

Just a heads up that sign up for the BJCA headstart course is going live on the 27th at 9am. These courses are excellent and they normally 'sell out (they are free)' within hours. You should have got a message from the BJCA about it but they really are such an excellent opportunity that I thought I'd highlight it! Please see below for more details:

BJCA HeadStart 2017, 21-22 October 2017, Royal Free Hospital, London

25 September 2017

Dear all,

HeadStart 2017 has been officially launched! This meeting is open to all Junior Cardiologists and other trainees interested in Cardiology. It covers all aspects of what you need to know as a Junior Cardiology Registrar (ST3-ST5).

Starting training in Cardiology can be a daunting process. There are a great number of practical skills you need to acquire, including angiography, cardiac pacing and echocardiography. In addition, emergencies can be a challenge to manage and learn at the same time.

We aim to cover all key essential procedures and emergencies that you will encounter during your Cardiology training. The two-day course is delivered by an experienced and expert faculty of UK Cardiologists.

Come to learn how to do key procedures in Cardiology as well as gain important tips and tricks.

HeadStart 2016 sold out in record time. To give everyone a fair chance at getting tickets, they will be made available from 9am on the 27th September. Please only sign-up if you are sure you can attend. If you find you cannot attend, please email us through Eventbrite so the ticket can be released for another doctor.

Very best wishes,

Dr Mahmood Ahmad Dr Chris Allen

on the applicant). This will also include my inherited cardiac clinic. It will also
